[tor-talk] Looking for some Tor love at HotPETS15

[A. Johnson]

Dear Tor friends,

This is just a reminder that HotPETs talk proposals are due *tomorrow* (April 24th). You can email your proposal to <hotpets15 at petsymposium.org> (2 pages max, for details see <https://www.petsymposium.org/2015/hotpets.php>).

We would love to have the exciting recent developments in the design and use of Tor presented at HotPETs, and it is a great chance to interact with some of the world’s most accomplished cryptographers, scholars, hackers, and activists.

Cheers,
Aaron
co-chair, HotPETs 2015

Tor has always been a major part of this discussion, from the introduction of Tor’s bandwidth scanner [1] in 2008, to the unveiling of Tor’s move to a single guard in 2014 [2], and including much in between (for example, [3-6]).

The submission deadline is *April 24th*. Details about submitting are in the Call for Talks [0]. Hopefully, this will make it even easier for more of the Tor community to participate, especially people who don’t write research papers for a living :-)
